Lead acts as an enzyme inhibitor and can interfere with the development of the nervous system. One manufacturer of lead-acid batteries instituted a “fetal protection policy” that banned female employees of childbearing age from working in areas where they might be exposed to high levels of lead. Women were involuntarily transferred to lower-paying jobs in lower-risk areas. A group of employees challenged the policy, claiming that it deprived women of job opportunities available to men. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled the policy illegal. Discuss:
1. What rights and responsibilities of employers, employees, and government agencies are in conflict in this situation?
2. Who should determine what makes a safe environment?
